In Iran, the U.S. Appears Headed for a Strategic Defeat, Allies Fear

With none of President Trump’s aims accomplished and the Strait of Hormuz closed, U.S. allies see dysfunction and vulnerability from the war.

MSM attacked, mocked, criticized and insulted President Biden for doing good work whilst in the fully intact White House, but the orange felon has received 10 years of passes and normalization whilst he destroys everything because they monetize from him. I’ll never forget it.

SPD-Chef Klingbeil verteidigt den Kanzler Merz gegen Kritik aus den USA: »Wir brauchen keine Tipps von Donald Trump«. Auch er kritisiert Trumps Vorgehen im Irankrieg.

German Chancellor Merz: It is quite obvious that the Americans have absolutely no coherent strategy whatsoever. There is a sense that a whole nation is being humiliated by the Iranian leadership, particularly the Revolutionary Guards.

2/2

And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.

And you're calling Greenland poorly run?

Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.

"NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.

And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.

So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth.”

Wow. Check out this Aussie telling it like it is. 1/2

@NotAvgLiberal
Just read it.

Spot On -

An Aussie reply to Trump’s rant about ‘NATO not being there for us’:

“Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.

You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.

Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.

Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.

Obama’s nuclear deal took 100s of hours of negotiations. Large teams, with nuclear experts, working line by line. Vance thought he and two real estate guys could roll in and use leverage they don’t have, with the aura of a diplomatic superpower they no longer are. Schooled.

JD Vance: "The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement. And I think that's bad news for Iran much more than it's bad news for the US. So, we go back to the US having not come to an agreement ... they have chosen not to accept our terms"

This is an actual statement from the President of the United States. This cannot be hand waved away as a joke. The man is threatening war crimes on top of war crimes! ENOUGH! I don’t say this lightly: The 25th Amendment needs to be invoked. The President needs to be removed!

Poland has no plans to relocate its Patriot air defense systems to the Middle East, Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz said today after reports that the U.S. had informally requested a transfer.

Poland won’t divert Patriot air defense systems to Gulf

The U.S. is approaching all its NATO allies looking for more air defense batteries, said a senior defense official from a NATO country.

NEW: This new report, from BBC, is the best takedown of the insanity of Trump you will see anywhere. Calm, coherent and repeating only Trump’s own words. Devastating. Brilliant work once again from Roz Atkins. (🎥 BBC News)

Trump says the US will be “bombing the hell out of” the Strait of Hormuz shoreline. This is going very well.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonald Trump
Many Countries, especially those who are affected by Iran's attempted closure of the Hormuz Strait, will be sending War Ships, in conjunction with the United States of America, to keep the Strait open and safe. We have already destroyed 100% of Iran's Military capability, but it's easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close range missile somewhere along, or in, this Waterway, no matter how badly defeated they are. Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others, that are affected by this artificial constraint, will send Ships to the area so that the Hormuz Strait will no longer be a threat by a Nation that has been totally decapitated. In the meantime, the United States will be bombing the hell out of the shoreline, and continually shooting Iranian Boats and Ships out of the water. One way or the other, we will soon get the Hormuz Strait OPEN, SAFE, and FREE! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Phil Leighton @joseph-yossarian.bsky.social · 5mo ago

The point will soon arrive when they have to decide on a ground war or stop at an air war, and “victory” can never be gained by an air war alone. So you can see where the sunk cost fallacy leads.

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment. Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off. The 25th is never happening.

Q: Are you encouraging oil company CEOs to use the Strait or Hormuz? TRUMP: Yeah, I think they should. I think they should. I think they should use the Strait. Look, we took out just about all of their mine ships.

Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social · 5mo ago

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 5mo ago

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"
